As you enjoy your new product, keep these

safety tips in mind

The issue

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular

purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed

according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics

industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or

carts may fall over and cause injury.

Tune into safety

•One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand

rated for the weight of your TV.

•Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions

for proper use of this product.

•Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment

system furniture and TVs.

•Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as

steps, such as a crate or chest of drawers.

•Remember that children can become excited while

watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV.

Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot

be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

•Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they

cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall mounting

If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:

•One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of

your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this

manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.

•Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.

•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a

professional installer.

•Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be

mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If

you are unsure, ask a professional installer.

TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Important Safety

Instructions

1Read these instructions.

2Keep these instructions.

3Heed all warnings.

4Follow all instructions.

5Do not use this apparatus near water.

6Clean only with dry cloth.

7Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions.

8Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce

heat.

9Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades with one wider than the

other. A grounding type plug has two blades

and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or

the third prong are provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for replacement of the

obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by

the manufacturer.

12 Use only with the cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or table specified

by the manufacturer, or sold with

the apparatus. When a cart is used,

use caution when moving the

cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from

tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has

been damaged in any way, such as

power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid

has been spilled or objects have fallen into the

apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or

has been dropped.

15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The

plug must remain readily operable.

16 An apparatus with three-prong, grounding-type

plug is a Class I apparatus which needs to be

grounded to prevent possible electric shock.

Make sure that you connect the Class I

apparatus to a grounding-type, three-prong

outlet.

17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed

to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the

like.

18 The apparatus should not be exposed to

dripping or splashing and no objects filled with

liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the

apparatus.

WARNING

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

remove any cover or expose the device to rain or

moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer

servicing to qualified service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver

during a lightning storm, or when it is left

unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any

antenna or cable system. This helps prevent

property damage and personal injury from

lightning and power line surges.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall

into such power lines or circuits. When installing an

outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Handling the LCD panel

• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop

your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD

panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken

glass.

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure

that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This

may cause skin inflammation.

• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately

gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if

the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin,

consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least

15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure

that the service technician uses replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer that have the same

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,

personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device,

ask the service technician to perform routine safety

checks to determine that your TV is in correct

operating condition.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

This symbol indicates that dangerous

voltage constituting a risk of electric

shock is present within your TV. This

label is located on the back of your TV.

This symbol indicates that there are

important operating and maintenance

instructions in the literature

accompanying your TV.

3

www.insigniaproducts.com

Power source

Operate your TV only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure

of the type of power supplied to your home, consult

an electrician or your local power company.

Servicing

These servicing instructions are for use by qualified

service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not perform any servicing other than that

contained in the operating instructions unless you

are qualified to do so.

CAUTION

Damage requiring service

Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged

or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into your TV.

• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your TV does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating

instructions because incorrect adjustment of

other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore your TV to its normal

operation.

• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected

to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable

system is grounded to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with

respect to correct grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire

to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer

Article 820 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct

grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable

ground must be connected to the grounding

system of the building as close to the point of cable

entry as practical.

Condensation

Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought

from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the

temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this

happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To

prevent this, let the TV stand in its new

surroundings for about an hour before switching it

on, or make sure that the room temperature rises

gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if

the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air

conditioner. In such cases, change the location of

the TV.

Mobile telephone warning

To avoid interference with your TV picture and

sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep

your cordless and cellular telephones away from

the TV.

End of life directives

Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent

lamp containing a small amount of mercury.

Disposal of these materials may be regulated for

environmental reasons. Your TV also contains

material that can be recycled and reused. For

disposal or recycling information, contact your local

authorities to find a recycler in your area.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film

transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video

quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may

appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red

point. These non-active pixels do not adversely

affect the performance of your TV, and are not

considered defects.

• If the signal level for a channel is weak, the

picture may be distorted. Adjust the antenna or

use a highly directional outdoor or set-top

antenna with a built-in amplifier.

• If the picture quality is good on some channels

and poor on others, the problem may be caused

by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster

or cable TV provider.

• If you connect to cable or satellite TV without a

set-top box and experience poor picture quality,

you may need to install a set-top box to improve

signal reception and picture quality. Contact

your cable or satellite TV provider about

upgrading to a set-top box.

• Many high-definition (HD) channels upscale

standard-definition (SD) content. The picture

displayed on your TV is still displayed as SD, thus

the picture quality will not be as clear or crisp as

it would be if the content was originally
